CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means routine safety and stability updates which will provide a dependable software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

When you get one of our virtual private server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You can choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you need to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order the server with no Control Panel and you'll obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we offer, since 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you are able to pick on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels which we supply, therefore you will be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up multiple web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you can choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
